I think I'm willing to take the East side up on that distance challenge. Or a putting challenge. Heck, we might as well add these to the overall team competition. I've seen the best the east can do in these categories and I must confess - not impressed at all. What do you say, East side, you game for some skills competitions? Are you ready to put your individual talents to the test? I'm sure there is a way to tie them in to this somehow.

I know there are many really good players that don't show up in PDGA stats, but the odds makers would have to favor the West side based on these facts. This is all in good fun, don't take it personal.

I think you missed a few that do show up in the stats. Jordan and I are both at 972 and Matt Perry just won GBO in Advanced and after the last two tournaments his rating is going to go up to at least 960 if not higher. Be careful with statistics, you can make them say whatever you want especially when you pick and choose. There are several other very highly rated players on both sides of the state line (GI Dave, Lee Killian, Adam C etc.). My opinion is that there is highly talented players on both side and that is too close to call. I think we all want to know the same thing, right. There's only one way to solve that....

Sorry, but other than Fred and occasionally CD and Jack, the numbers for the East side seem based on local tournament numbers. In other words, you all ain't been tested outside of your comfort zones. GI Dave has played where? Lee? I notice Hinck played Branson recently, but where else have any of the East players tested their game? I know there is talent on the East side, but the numbers might be a tad biased in their favor. The East side numbers are suspect in comparison to those of the West side crew who have built resumes on courses outside of their stomping grounds. It's easy to shoot a good round on a course you have played a hundred times. So... still don't see the numbers speaking well for the East side as of yet. Perhaps this is another addition to the challenge - playing a course no one knows. Perhaps a temp course?

So, don't let the numbers fool you. Don't let yourself fall victim to Dan Beto Syndrome. He earned a 990 rating (or something like that) playing the same two of four tournaments every year, and got it in his head he was a super pro. Then he took his act on the road and got spanked down hard by reality.

So numbers mean nothing.

And don't fool yourself Hinck. You're good, but you ain't never out thrown me.
